Hierarchical View: Controlled Term List Window
Viewing Controlled Terms within the context of a hierarchical Controlled Term List provides users with a useful, more contextual alternative to the standard display of a Controlled Term List.
The Hierarchical View page displays all a hierarchical Controlled Term List’s top level terms in single page and gives you the ability to drill down through subsequent (child) Controlled Terms to a single Controlled Term in the lowest level of hierarchy.
This ensures that you can view Controlled Term Lists in the same structure as its owner provided (such as MedDRA and VedDRA).
- Currently, you can only drill down through one top level term at a time. If you click on another, top level term, the previously opened hierarchical path closes.
- To view the Controlled Term Lists in its hierarchical form, click the Controlled Term List’s name in the ‘You are here:’ field, as highlighted below:
